DescriptionTouches change the game world with rapid speed and enormous numbers in terms of economical and social effect. Repeated touch action based games and services(eg. twitter and god finger) generate enormous interactions between people. Some technological researches about the embodied experience of people found that 1/3 of second is suitable time for natural matching of our body movement and the computer's cognitive system. Touch based games including repeatable touch actions are obtaining the arousal from users because of its natural reaction system and simple interaction ways. Those kind of interaction can be explained by experiential feed back and reaction times in terms of embodiment. This research aims to try to explain the reason why many people play those games with the understanding of embodied action and find a possibility to apply these implications for the more popular serious game design.
